Joe and his wife (who runs the admin for JB Painting) were rude and defensive during every step of the process. After the deposit was paid they kicked the project down the road for nearly a year and a half until they were threatened with a lawsuit. His staff did quality work despite no presence, supervision, or communication from Joe. He arrived for the final walk-through and demanded cash. I attempted to do a walk-through with him to show him a full panel on the front of the house that only had primer and no paint (as well as a few spots the painters had missed - nothing big at all). He demanded cash, said the job was done, and told me he wouldn't leave my property until he got his money. I demanded he leave the property no less than 25 times. I had to call 911 to have police officers address Joe. When he did leave my property, he looked me in my face, stepped on the break and gas on his truck. He spun out in my driveway leaving a 15-20 foot drag mark on my driveway flinging rocks and me and my toddler. They then parked outside of my house RECORDING me and my 2 year old (who was shirtless in my porch) until police arrived to collect statements. These people ARE VIOLENT AND MENTALLY UNSTABLE. I cannot stress enough that the quality of their worker's skills are good but their boss is either SEVERELY mentally ill or under the influence of drugs. I am currently pressing charges against Joe and his wife for these events. read more

Lied to me repeatably that he would paint my house this summer. Gave him a down payment of $1700.00 in April of '24, by November still kicking the can down the road, telling me he would 'get it done' by winter. or maybe even next spring, a full year later. I fired him after contacting him 3 times throughout the summer and (my mistake!) accepting his excuses for not showing up. By 11/15 I had had enough and asked for my down payment back, he basically told me to go eff myself, and refused to refund the money. Total creep, can't be trusted, rude, defensive and disrespectful. I'm actually glad he never showed up. read more

Once the project started, Joe was rude and defensive. Quality of work was amateur at best. They broke multiple parts on the house, painted places that shouldn't have paint and left the job undone. 3 months later I am still trying to get him to finish the job. Too bad I paid upfront. Currently pursuing legal action. read more

Joe was very unprofessional and the quality of work was poor. Unfortunately I paid him if full prior to him finishing the contracted work, and he never completed the work. He left unfinished painting, did not clean up the splattered paint on my wood floors, furniture, granite countertops, and appliances. He did not finish the tile work, and did not complete the final walk through as promised so we could inspect the results together. I was forced to find someone else to complete the work, which required 2 days of labor. read more

200+ year-old siding was scraped, primed, and painted, on time and on budget. Was so good, that we decided to have the barn done this fall too. read more
